Feel free to post any fantasy football advice or questions here. Yappi has plenty of "experts" to help screw up your team.

I have the 3rd and 4th picks of the first round in my league Monday night after some trades. I should have some interesting choices to make.

I use 4for4. There's a chance Jefferson and Chase go 1-2. That may result in me going McCaffrey - Ekeler which would have me chasing receivers the rest of the way.
 
Had pick 3 in a ten team standard scoring non-ppr league. Didn’t love my assumed starting RBs but feel like I got good value later at the position.

QB: Geno Smith
RB: Stevenson, B Hall, Herbert, Montgomery, Jamal Williams
WR: Jamar, Lamb, Moore, Jerry Judy, Jordan Addison, JSN
TE: Andrews
DEF: CIN
K: Gano

Hoping Geno replicates his fantasy performance last year. Very worried Zeke will vulture a bunch of Stevensons TDs, while Rogers audibles out of a run play at the 2 for a quick pass screwing Hall out of a TD. Jamal Williams was a killer value pick. Should get a lot of volume the first few weeks while Kamara is suspended. Couldn’t believe I got Lamb with the 18th pick.

That was my first reaction as I read- how did Lamb get through to him in round 2?

I have the 3rd pick in my league. I traded my second rounder in a package to get the 4th pick in the first. I have the first 4 as Jefferson, McC, Ekeler and Chase so I am going to get two of those then hope for Andrews in 3.

I wasn’t totally surprised Kupp fell in this draft to the 2nd or 3rd pick in the 2nd round - he’s had some injury concerns, hit 30 and has an aging QB. But Lamb?! I had to do a quick google search to make sure I didn’t miss an injury to him or Dak.

That’s exactly where I nabbed Andrews.
 
I ended up with:
QB- Burrow, Jones
RB- McCaffrey, Ekeler, Herbert, Bigsby, Archane
WR- Ridley, Lockett, Dotson, Evans, Thomas, Flowers
TE- Andrews
K- Elliott
 
We did something new in our league this year that I like. We play one game versus an opponent and one game against the league median score. It keeps the hard luck teams in it while punishing the overly lucky teams. This week, we had a team score great and lose and they end up 1-1 and a team that deserved not to win but did end up 1-1.
 
My team stunk this week but got bailed out by Diggs on Monday night. Helped that I played another team that struggled.

I picked 11th in a 12-man league. I usually end up near the top but I really hated my draft this year. Seemed I was always losing the players I wanted 4-6 picks before my turn and felt like I was overpicking the players when it was my turn.
 
My 1st 2 RBs were Chubb and Cam Akers. Chubb's out and Akers was left off the roster last week and is being traded. Another fine job of picking.
 
4-0 here. Two wins against an opponent and 2 against the league median. Down Ekeler but guys like Mike Evans and Lockett have come through for me.

That's a great idea, which web site offers that option?

Sleeper. I really like it as it rewards a high scoring team that gets unlucky by playing another high scoring team while balancing out on the other end. It is our first year of doing it and it has gone over well.
 
I was very optimistic about njoku coming into the season (still am, elite RZ threat) but drafted LaPorta in Detroit in the last round as a backup te

I gotta start him after today, right? He's had 3 straight good weeks (and this week was great) In a pretty good Detroit offense

who would you play...Jackson vs PITT or Cousins vs KC tomorrow
 
Drafted Jonathan Taylor in the 8th round in a keeper league. Got laughed at by all my friends. Who's laughing now?
 
I will be 7-3 after tonight, with Ekeler and Burrow on my roster. I'm feeling pretty good with Burrow coming around and Ekeler coming back. My biggest mistake was cutting Achane early in the season.
 
I'm in a family fantasy football league. We have 12 players and it is fairly competitive. What I have a problem with is that we have made it too easy. Our bench is too deep. We have too many WRs playing. We added an IR spot.

It has taken the fun out of it. The smaller rosters and limited bench were alot more fun. There were weeks when I had to decide whether to pick up an active TE or just leave the spot vacant and keep my more important players who were idle. An IR player was a major risk. Cut him to open a spot or hold on to him and hope to get into the top 4 for the playoffs down a player.

It was more fun when good players popped up on the Free Agent list because someone had to make a move. Even crappy players that had a shot to do something are still on rosters because there is no reason to cut in our league.

To shorten this story, don't make your roster size too big. It takes the fun out of it and makes the draft and injuries determine the winners...not who makes the best decisions every week.

With all that said, I'm in first place but I play a middle-tier team this week that took a flier on Jonathan Taylor and stuck him on the bench. That team will be hard to beat in the playoffs.
